Since Ancient Times, Beautiful Women Have Been Sources of Disaster; You Kid Better Hold On

Lin Tian felt somewhat helpless.

But for the breathtakingly beautiful Pope before him, he could only suppress the burning heat in his heart.

"Lin Tian, rest well these next few days. In the Spirit Hall disciple assessment three days from now, I hope you'll seize first place in one stroke and give those old geezers from the Worship Hall a hard slap in the face!"

After saying that, Bibi Dong rose from the soft couch, her face flushed as she spoke to Lin Tian in a slightly bashful voice.

"I want you to prove to everyone in Spirit Hall that the man I, Bibi Dong, have chosen will never be wrong!"

Hearing this, Lin Tian turned around and drew the stunning beauty behind him into his arms. Then, lowering his head to her ear, he said:

"Don't worry. I definitely won't disappoint Mother!"

After speaking, Lin Tian lowered his head and kissed the Pope's full red lips. With a flick of his hand, the curtains fell, and the entire side hall bedchamber was bathed in the glow of red candles.

In the darkness of night, a soft female voice drifted out:

"I'm not going back to my own bedchamber tonight. I'll stay here and keep you company~"

Hearing this, he gave no reply. Instead, he secretly prayed that time would pass more slowly—better yet, that dawn would never come!

For three consecutive days, Lin Tian did not leave his bedchamber.

Aside from cultivating Soul Power each day, he spent his nights savoring exquisite delicacies...

Three days later, at Spirit Hall Plaza, the blazing sun hung high in the sky. Elite disciples from Spirit Academy had gathered beneath the plaza early, ready to enter the arena and fight at any moment.

All around the plaza, special banners symbolizing Spirit Hall's glory fluttered in the wind, snapping sharply through the air.

Temple Knights clad in armor and wielding knight lances stood guard in pairs at every position throughout Spirit Plaza.

Their eyes beneath their helmets gleamed as sharply as hawks', sweeping over every corner of the plaza and allowing no one to cause trouble.

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, a golden pillar of light descended from the sky, its golden radiance covering the entire elevated platform.

Soon afterward, several more pillars of light in different colors descended onto the vacant seats on both sides of Spirit Hall's platform.

When the light faded, those who had appeared were none other than Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Worship Hall, along with Spirit Hall's elders and worshippers.

After another while, a graceful figure in a wine-red ceremonial robe appeared at the very center of the Spirit Plaza platform.

As the radiance shrouding her faded away, Pope Bibi Dong appeared, holding the Pope Scepter in her hand, her bright eyes and pearly teeth dazzling.

When Spirit Hall's elders saw the Pope appear, they all bowed deeply. As for the members of the Worship Hall, apart from Qian Daoliu, the rest merely nodded slightly to show their respect for Spirit Hall's Pope.

Qian Daoliu's golden eyes turned toward Pope Bibi Dong at his side. This woman had utterly bewitched the disciple he valued most. He truly did not know how she had managed it?!

Could it be that brat Lin Tian really liked her mature married-woman charm?

"Everyone, today is an important day for Spirit Hall's disciple trial assessment. Spirit Hall is known as the holy land of soul masters because we dare to fight, dare to strive, and dare to cultivate. In today's assessment, everyone is equal. As long as you have the courage, you may challenge one another as you please."

"The winner may enter Spirit Hall's Treasure Pavilion and choose any Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone."

Like a noble empress standing high above all others, Bibi Dong lightly tapped the Pope Scepter against the ground and parted her red lips, making her intentions known to everyone present.

Her voice was icy, and every word she uttered carried immense authority, as though imbued with the weight of a thousand jun, intimidating everyone present to the core.

"Grand Elder, that woman really knows how to put on an act! Listen to how righteous she sounds. In the end, won't the winner still be one of those disciples she trained herself?"

Ever since his previous conflict with Bibi Dong, Xiongshi had found her unpleasant to look at. Whenever he had the chance, he would disparage her a few times before Qian Daoliu.

"Xiongshi, be patient. Watch the matches carefully. Perhaps we may even find a few promising seedlings among them."

After hearing Qian Daoliu say that, Xiongshi could not bring himself to say anything further.

He immediately turned to look toward the center of Spirit Plaza, hoping to select several promising youngsters to train. Perhaps he truly might gain an unexpected harvest.

Ignoring Xiongshi's provocative gaze, Bibi Dong looked toward Lin Tian. As the standout among Spirit Hall's younger generation of soul master disciples, the soul masters most capable of putting him in a difficult position were the disciples of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation.

But such a challenge would not be too difficult for Lin Tian.

"Lin Tian, do your best! Mother believes in you~"

Among the disciples of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena were undoubtedly recognized by the elders and worshippers as the strongest trio.

If Lin Tian could defeat them, no one would be able to question his strength again.

"The future development of Spirit Hall requires all of you. Therefore, I hope you will give it your all."

Standing atop the platform, Pope Bibi Dong gently parted her red lips, her rose-red eyes sweeping over the people below who had long since prepared themselves.

Although this match was merely a sparring contest between Spirit Hall disciples, it was Lin Tian's first time taking part in a real soul master battle. Bibi Dong was somewhat worried that he might be injured.

Though Xie Yue, Yan, and the others were somewhat lacking in talent, they were all disciples whom Spirit Hall had carefully nurtured.

For Lin Tian to challenge them directly might not be as simple as she had imagined.

Perhaps to save himself some trouble and better silence those who questioned his decision, Lin Tian directly proposed a mad idea to the bishops, elders, and worshippers present.

It was a one-versus-three. He wanted to fight three people alone!

This request not only made Spirit Hall's elders and worshippers widen their eyes, but also caused Bibi Dong—who had already shared intimate relations with Lin Tian—to furrow her brows. A trace of surprise appeared on her peerlessly beautiful face.

Yet she understood very well why Lin Tian was doing this. After all, if he wanted to shock those old geezers in the Worship Hall, only a one-against-three battle could produce the desired effect.

At that thought, a trace of nervousness appeared on Bibi Dong's exquisite face.

That little bastard had no idea how to take care of his own body.

What if he got hurt? Wouldn't she worry herself to death?!

Thinking that, Bibi Dong glanced again at Qian Daoliu beside her, whose expression was just as tense.

That old fox was also staring anxiously at the arena.

Although that brat had gotten involved with his granddaughter's mother, he was still the Dao Protector chosen by the Angel God. He absolutely could not suffer even the slightest injury on the stage.

Otherwise, how was he, a servant of the Angel God, supposed to answer to the Angel God?!

He could only hope that Lin Tian would make it through safely!

But if Lin Tian were injured here, he would also have an excuse to persuade Lin Tian to make a clean break with that woman.

Since ancient times, beautiful women had always brought disaster!

His precious son, Qian Xunji, had already suffered at that woman's hands. He did not want the Dao Protector favored by the Angel God to run into trouble as well!
